grep-ed.el v1.0

[Scott Frazer]

Some friendly competition for grep-edit.el that allows you to edit results
from 'grep' and write them back to the files.

This uses highlight-changes-mode to keep track of things, and has some
custom variables/hooks/functions to allow flexibility I needed.  From the
commentary:

This package lets you edit the results of a 'grep' by pressing "\C-c\C-e",
then write the results back to the files by pressing "\C-c\C-s" (or
aborting by pressing "\C-c\C-e" again).

The variable `grep-ed-save-after-changes' determines if the changes will be
written back automatically or if you have to do it manually.  The variable
`grep-ed-unload-new-buffers-after-changes' determines if any new buffers
created to make changes will be automatically unloaded.

Since files you want to modify could be read-only (e.g. because they are in
a revision control system), the `grep-ed-make-file-writable-function' and
`grep-ed-make-file-read-only-function' variables can be pointed to your own
functions that take one argument FILENAME and, say, check the file out then
back in.
